SUTTER For Transportation to Polls Ca HU 2.7027 45r HU 2.6616 ELECTORS OF CLINTON: I sincerely solicit your support at the Polls on Monday, De- cember 5, in electing me as COUNCILLOR FOR 1961 2 Years Experience on Symons VOTE AS YOU LIKE - - - BUT VOTE 48p OPEN LETTER TO CITIZENS OF CLINTON: As you the people well know, the purpose of the council is to arrange the business of the town in such a way that the maximum number of people benefit regardless of race or creed. Above all we must have an energetic group, forward-thinking and with the time to put in and do a really good job. I am an Electronics instructor at RCAF Station Clinton and have resided in Clinton since March, 1957. I have grown to like the town and many of the fine people who live here and have recently bought a home at 204 Townsend Street. I feel that taking a keen interest in the improvement of our town is hardly enough, If you give me your vote, I guarantee that I shall give you the energy and progressive spirit of which I believe only a younger man is capable. When you vote, remember that when one of the senior citizens is dis- placed from council to make way for a younger min, you the people profit by it, These public-spirited men,who have served so long, are always available for guidance, and then we have the ideal combination of experience and virility. In conclusion I promise that your inquiries, complaints and suggestions will be regarded very seriously by me and I guarantee real action. Use your vote, put in the men you want arid who you feel will do their best for you. Alllan Elliot, Candidate for Council A. M. Knight. Presents Hospitals' Problems Farmers Union Presents Brief To County Council Members of the executive of Huron County Farmers- Union presented 'their first brief to Huron, County Council at the November 23 session. Following le pant of this brief: Marketing, Ontario Far- mers Union has always stip- ported the principle of producs er controlled marketing boards, but firmly believe that these board's must be national in scope to achieve proper results. Transportation. The Ontario Farmers Union believes that licence fees for farm trucks are unreasonably high. Far- mers do not object to paying a fair share of highway main- tenance, but feel the present system is not :equitable, We recommend that (1) School bus drivers be required to page a driving test. (2) All school buses be equipped with stop signs both front and back end all traffic be required to stop when students are leaving or entering a school bus. Insurance. The Ontario Far- mers Union has endorsed the principle of the Provincial Hospital Insurance Plan, but note with disappointment that in our present plan there is no provision made for senior citizens care in nursing homes, and we have suggested that this group be included in the plan while patients are in a registered nursing home. Education. In a recent sur- vey by the Unemployment de- partment in the province it was found that 70 percent of the present unemployed have had only public school educa- tion. Considering this the Hur- on District . Farners Union have named a committee to meet with the Minister of Ed- ucation requesting that a sur- vey be taken within the coun- ty as to the need of a voca- tional school. This brief was well received by members of Huron County Council. .Ballet Students Dance for Packed House at Legion To the Electors of Clinton: Thanks for your con- fidence in electing me your Mayor by acclama- tion for 1961. i will do, my utmost to serve you to the best of my ability.

The board considers it would be too costly to make altera- tions to the old building, to which a $563,000 addition was built four years ago. Govern- ment grants would be $160,000 and $160,000 would have to be raised locally. Seaforth: Building of a, new 46-bed •hospital, at an estimat- ed Cost of $700,000, The pre- sent Scott Memorial Hospital, with a capacity of 37 patients, is housed in an 80-year-old converged residence, and a frame and brick .additionburkt in. 1949. A site on No. 8 High- way, at the east end of Sea- forth, has been bought for a new hospital. Government gr- ants of 'about $300,000 would be available, leaving $400,000 to be raised locally. Wingham: Building of 'an ad- dition, in. the form of an extra storey on the present hospital, to provide 38 beds at a cost of $340,000. Government gr- ants would be $160,000; and $180,000 would have to be raised locally. The overcrowding at Wing- ham, Mr. Knight said, has be- come extreme. Wingham Gen- eral Hospital has accommoda- tion) for 95 patients; for the past three months, the aver- age number of patients at a time has been 126.

The meeting and banquet were attended by 175 farmers. Dr. D. N. Huntley, of the field husbandry department, Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph, was guest 'speaker. He said forage crops present a bigger challenge to farmers than any other crop. "Until a man can handle the feed situation on his farm he is in serious trouble," he said. He urged the •association to pro- mote forage crops. C. H. Kingsbury, Guelph, fieldman, field crop branch, OAC, presented the results of the Huron County seed survey conducted this year, based on 45 cereal and 24 small seed sam- ples. He reported that 61 per- cent was classed No. 1 seed, compared with 55 in 1955 and 44 in 1952, This year nine percent was classed No. 2 seed; ten per- cent No, 3 and 20 percent was rejected. The general quality of the seed in the county has improved, said Mr. Kingsbury, "Money spent on good seed is money well spent—as it will result in better yield—and bet- ter control of weeds." Perth County in a similar survey this year, had 71 per- cent classed No. 1 seed. )Beim Champion Tribute was paid to Bob Fothermgham, R.R, 3, Seaforth, who won the white bean championship at the Royal Winter Fair, and Robert P.

Herb BRIDLE for 1961 Council Students in ballet and tap dancing lessons with Myst 'lemy Zablocki, 'apt Friday night Played to a newly - packed house in the Legion Memorial Hall, as they presented the first ballet recital since the spring of 1959. Hospitalization of their instructress early this year postponed the event, Mrs, H. A. "Bud" Graham was mistress 'of ceremonies, Contributions at the door were in aid of the Clinton Girl Guid- es and Brownies, Reception given :eras excel- lent, and the audience was en- thusiastic over the youngsters' performance, Plans now :are for a repeat presentation in the hall at the Huron County Home early in 1961. Costumes were very lovely, and added to the effects desired. Included in the program was M. J. Agnew Again Deputy-Reeve Of Town of Clinton (Continued from Page One) Ileintzman Company. He was cornet eoloist in the City Band there. Coming back to Clinton he played with the local citizens band, eventually taking over leadership for eight years, In this position he had consider- able success, remembered by many citizens. He worked with Sherlock-Manning Piano Co. Ltd. Then in 1929 Mr. Agnew went into business for him- self. Though his shop is pop- ularly known 'as a pool room, he prefers the more staid term "Tobaccos and Billiards". About 20 years ago he was defeated in, his first attempt to gain a seat in council, but he persevered and the next year he headed the polls. He had some acclamations and then in 1954 he headed the polls a second' time. He had been mayor in 1943 and 1944, and his name is on the engrav- ed plaque in, council chamber recording the fact. Mr. Agne walso has been an active member of the Clinton Lodge A.F. and A.M. No. 84, where he was master for the year 1942-43. Mr. Agnew was mayor again in 1955. It was during this year that a god deal of activity took place in a public relations sort. of way with the RCAF Station Clinton. Probably Mr. Agnew's military background stood him in good stead. It was that year that the council chamber received its first lick of paint in. possibly 30 years. Mayor Agnew in- vited the Station to place the RCA9F flag in this newly dec- orated room, and it hangs there along' with the Union Jack, symbolic of good relationship between the Station and Town. Also that year, on Air Force Day, a special parade was dr- awn up on Library Park, and the RCAF flag flew from Clin- ton's flag pole for the entire day, at the invitation of mayor Agnew. Clinton's town crest was pl- aced hi 'the town hall, between the two flags, and replicas were presented to both the Officers Mess and the Sergeant Mess at RCAF Station Clinton, As the town's deputy reeve, Mr. Agnew has: become intens- ely interested in the work at County Council level. He .holds a fem hand on the finances of the town, and his humour keeps the meetings of council alert and lively, as: well as provid- ing thought-provoking ideas for council members and rate- payers.

Miller 48b Taking a look at [the fixture needs of the five public hospi- tals in Huron County, county councillors in session at :Gode- rich last week, were shown a picture 'with a price tag of $1,752,213. The sum was the 'total of the estimated cost of building programs that ere now being considered by hospital boards at Wingham, Goderich, Clinton, Seaforth and Exeter, The figures were presented by A, M, Knight, Clinton, as spokesman for a delegation from the five ,hospital boards. He appeared before county council as the result of an ef- fort, initiated by the council earlier this year, to find what the financial needs of the county's hospitals are likely to be, so that a program of county grant' can be worked out. to cover the next five to ten years, The Ontario hospital insur- ance plan, Mr. Knight remind- ed councillors, provides : men- ey only for the running ex- penses of hospitals; the find- ing of money for new build- ings and new equipment is a task that remains with the loc- al hospital board. Percentage Rate At a conference of the five hospital boards, Mr. Knight re- ported, it was decided that be- cause the needs, are so differ- ent in the five hospitals, no fair or reasonable plan could be made for county grants at a stated rate per hospital bed. The only feasible basis for county grants toward future hospital building, Mr. Knight said, would, be a percentage rate of 'the net cost of the hospital. The plans summarized for the five hospitals are: Clinton: An addition, to cost $22,213, to increase the capa- city of Clinton Public Hospi- have to be raised locally. Exeter: An addition, to cost $170,000, to increase the capa- city of South Huron Hospital 'tal from 40 patients to 60.
